UFO Blitz

This is "Patient Pete." More than 12 months ago, I was cutting up heaps of chenielle that I had been dying, and then cutting into squares and sorting them all out. I had heaps of scraps on the floor and Pete asked "What are you going to do with those bits Mummy?" Of course this led to him designing his own quilt and me off on another unplanned project. The quilt top was made in double quick time and then it has just been kicking around the sewing room - waiting - waiting - waiting.

Last week I got busy and backed it, quilted it and bound it.

"Oh what a Feeling!"

Now I have plans to do another that has been waiting - waiting - waiting!

Oh that is beautiful!!! And you dye it yourself!!? I love it, it looks so soft and that first picture is gorgeous by the way! Thanks for stopping by and saying hello, I love seeing what other people are up too in blog land!!! -Allison

About Me

Hi, my name is Annie, and I'm an avid gardener and a passionate sewer. I love love love fabrics of all kinds and see beauty everywhere, especially in my garden. I love to watch things grow and nurture them along with kindness and encouragement. I am a school teacher by trade and enjoy my job very much. It's tricky to find time to do all the wonderful things that I am interested in but where's there's a passion, there's a way!

Welcome to my Flower Garden

I like the idea of having a place to share and show and tell and learn and get inspired with like minded people. In my other life I teach 8 and 9 year olds the 3 R's in Grade Three. I enjoy my day job very much and love my hobbies with a passion. I feel very lucky to be able to say that. I hope I will be able to inspire others with some of the things I like to do. Come and walk with me in my garden
